Description
Plymouth was first introduced as a separate model line in 1929, offering entry-level and inexpensively priced vehicles within the Chrysler Corporation and played a significant role in the company's survival during the difficult years of the Great Depression, ultimately rising to the number three position in overall sales by 1931. It was a stylish and innovative vehicle that offered features like hydraulic brakes on all four wheels and all-steel construction before either of its two main rivals in Ford and Chevrolet. In 1933, it switched to a six-cylinder engine that resulted in a considerable increase in sales, as did independent front suspension the following year.
The 1935 Plymouth rested on a new X-braced frame with boxed side rail members, and the 'Unit Frame & Body Construction' method of bolting the body at numerous points to the frame, thus making the frame an integral part of the body structure, and vis-versa.
As the 1930s were coming to a close, the styling had entered the art-deco age of streamlining, highlighted by the Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow, and the Lincoln Zephyr. For Plymouth, aerodynamic design cues included skirted fenders and curved radiator surround when its all-new body was released for the 1940 model year. The following year, the model lineup consisted of two distinct lines that included the entry-level Model P11 and the better equipped P11 Deluxe, augmented by the upmarket Model P12 Special Deluxe.
The standard engine was a 201.3 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine with four main bearings, solid valve lifters, and delivering 88 horsepower at 3,800 RPM.
This particular car has been nicely restored in the past in a cream over dark brown upholstery colour scheme. The upholstery still appears in near-new condition. The carpets show some wear and the exterior brightwork could use a polish, but overall this rare wagon presents very nicely. This would make an ideal driver or a perfect start to a high-point restoration.
The car comes with German registration papers, which can easily be used for registration in any EU country.
